Spiral Flower Pattern .

Spiral Flower

Yarn used is 4ply yarn ( any material it can be like acrylic ,wool or cotton or any )

Put13 chains ( 13th chain is only for turning the work around or it can be called a turning chain).

Row 1: Turn andput1 SCin the second cchain from the hook ( or the 12th chain when counted from the beginning) .put anotherSCin the next chain ( insert hook under both the loops all the time) totally it is 2 SC’s .

Put1 HDC in the next two chains ( 1 hdc in each ) total 2 HDC’s .

Work1 DC in the next three stitches ( one in each ) so total of 3 DC’s.

Now work5 TC’S in the next5 stitches ( one in each ) so we have total of 5 TC’s.

Afterthe finalTC , chain one andworkreverse single crochet or crab stitch and go all the way to the beginningof the work( i.e, starting form sc)and at the end put a chain of 3 ( chain of 3 is for the stsarting of row 2). The crab stitch gives the pattern the kind of rimmed look which is the main thing.

This completesthe first petal and row 1.

Row 2:(extra care needed for tthis row J)work 1 sc in the second chain form the hook , work another scin the next . Total 2 sc’s.

Worka HDC on the previous petals1st sc and another on the next. ( which is worked behind the crab stitch ). Total 2hdc’s.

Now work 3 dc ‘s ( one in each in the next 3 stitches ) . total of 3dc’s.

Work 1 TC in the next stitchand 2 TC ‘s in the next same stitchand again work 2 TC’s in the next stitch , total of 5 TC’s .

At the end work crab stitch and go back to the beginningof the petal. At the end of crab stitch work 3 chains , which for the starting of the row3.

Afterrow 10 fasten off the yarn ,leave a little yarn about10cms to sew the 10th petal to the first petal .

But before sewing theedges, take a tapestry needleand add yarn, don’t tie a knot to the end of the yarn added to the needle, leave it freeandjust pass the yarn at the centre of the flower at the edgesthrough all the petals,make sure the yarn you needled has enough length coming out of both the edges.

Pull the yarn from both the ends till you have that magical closed spiral centre !

Now sew the edges of the 1st and 10th petal.

pull the thread after sewing the edges till the hole in the centre is closed.

Turn the flower back and tie a tight knotmaybe 2 or more knots to secure .

Thanks for the pattern! It's a beautiful flower. I'm a little bit confused as to where to insert my hook "behind the crab stitch", for making rows 2 and beyond. If you could post a picture of that, it would help a lot!

Hello Samantha ! Yes, because if you use a 2.25 mm hook , it will make the stitches be stiff because since it is a smaller hook it makes stiffer stitch . If you want the stitch to be tighter you have to use smaller hook and if you want not so tight stitch you have to use bigger hook , that is why you got bunchy stitches because you used a bigger 3.75mm hook . It also depends on the thickness of the yarn. If you want to continue with 3.75mm , you have to use a yarn thicker than 4 ply , may be 6 ply or something. Try this out n tell me how it went :).

I love crocheted flowers and pretty much have every pattern, including those I have created, so I was amazed when I found this flower on Pinterest and stopped in my tracks. It is beautiful and perfect for a couple of my projects I have working in my head. Keep up the good work, it's GORGEOUS

I've tried this a few times and when I'm finished, my flowers petals don't seem to come together and line up right, and when forded the petals collapse into one another. Would you know why this is happening?? Or how to fix it??? Thanks I absolutely love this flower!!!

Thanks for the pattern, but I could not make it stand up nor, even with the pictures figure out where to put the stitches for Row 2. I'm left handed that may be the problem. But still a beautiful version of a flower and unique. Keep up the lovely work, and thanks again for posting this free pattern. You are quite adept at crochet.

Hi! I love your pattern. I' ve used it on a purse. I was wondering if I can post on my blog a translation into Italian of your pattern. Obviously I would post also the link to your blog.Thanks all the same.IlariaIlgomitolodimomo@gmail.com
